Dana, I've put Jeff Noon's Vurt onto my TBR pile, I'll let you know what I think.

I'm continuing to read Doctor Who novelizations, have made it up to Pertwee, just finished Cave of Monsterswhich was based on the first Silurians episode, now reading Ambassadors of Death.

I borrowed Kathryn Stockett's The Help from crazynurse's daughter, liked it more than I expected to, but I still wasn't entirely pleased with it. It is charming and poignant, without being overtly sappy, and really focuses on the strengths and foibles of the women, both black and white, involved. The white women tended to be two dimensional caricatures, all hair styles and silver patterns, but I guess less of their story was being told.

I'm currently reading Broadmoor Revealed: Victorian Crime and the Lunatic Asylum - Mark Stevens.
